Bhayshul Tuten: Start or Sit?
Explosive RB with elite straight-line speed. Home-run threat splitting carries in the Jacksonville backfield.
This week’s verdict
Toss-Up· medium
RB25 projection (12.9) and a 7.5-point favorite script say flex him, but a 21% snap share, 3% target share and a questionable tag are real bust paths.

team points
- Carries a Questionable tag — usually plays, but monitor the final report.
- CLE ranks 17 of 32 against RBs (a middle-of-the-road matchup, 0-game sample).
- Vegas implies 24.0 team points as 7.5-point favorites.
- Listed RB on the latest depth chart with a 21% snap share in 2025.
The call
- The script is ideal: Jacksonville is favored by 7.5 with a 24.0 implied total, the kind of game where a lead back gets fourth-quarter carries and goal-line looks.
- Usage is the problem — 21% snap share and a 3% target share over 15 games is a rotational role, so the 12.9-point projection assumes a bigger workload than his season profile supports.
- He's listed questionable, so you need clarity before locking him in; if he's cleared and taking first-team work, he's a fine PPR flex, if he's limited he's a bench stash.
- The Cleveland DvP composite (17 of 32) is a neutral, zero-game-sample read — it neither boosts nor sinks the call.
